How did you lose your gaming virginity?

[StBishop]

Doom. It was dad's game, I played through some of it until I couldn't get any further and never tried again.

I then became gaming's ***** when I played Tiberium Sun at a friend's place, I proceeded to buy it, all the other command and conquer games which was then followed by a PlayStation, when they first got dual shock controllers.

My mom brought home an NES with the zapper and the Duck Hunt/Super Mario combo. I was.. 4, I think. It was before grade one, but possibly while I was still in kindergarten.

It would have to be Pokemon Blue Version on my game boy color...good times...

 

[Mikri Shogun]

The first I played was Mario from my cousin's Gameboy (he always wondered why the batteries were always half-empty ...) and lots of coin-ups games. But the first that really got me into things was Castelvania:Symphony of the night.What a game!!!

I Lost it to Warpath: Jurassic Park, at the age of 3, on my brothers PlayStation 1.
Back then it was HARDCORE.

It's a toss up between TransBot, Alien Syndrome, or Choplifter for the Sega Master System. I enjoyed the hell out of these games, but I'm now learning that they were all terrible, save for Choplifter (even speaking comparatively to other games out at the time).

Pretty sure I was around three or four years old. Those games came out around 86, my year of birth...and I remember actually picking out Alien Syndrome (the box art reminded me of the Alien alien)...so I'm pretty sure it was around a time as early as I could possibly remember.

First game I remember playing was Quake. I was only about 7 or so. I've had a computer in the house my entire life and I know I was playing games like Catz and Dogz and there was this Reader Rabbit game but as far as "true" games it was Quake.

ETA:

Forgot to put that it was a lan party! That was when my dad got another computer and we hooked them up and played multiplayer together! Man, I miss lan games. We used to hook up like 8 computers when all the cousins came over. All the wires... so many wires...

I was about to say Lemmings on the SNES, but then it came to mind a few photos of me playing Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES, probably around the age of 3(maybe 4, if I was that stubborn about my dummy)

 

[xentech83]

The first game I ever played is a tie for Frogger and Asteroids on the Atari 2600, I can't remember which one, but they were the first two games I owned. I was three.

 

[Osmo]

Diddykong racing for the N64, and my first "violent" video game was a game called "Reign of terror" for the PC.

 

[JasonBurnout16]

First proper game was Dino Crisis, when I used to watch my uncle play, and then proceed to complete myself. It was a long time ago?

Does anyone remember Dino Crisis?

Yeah. I still play that game. It's great.

Yer I can only remember it vaguely, would love to play it again someday.

 

[GodofDisaster]

Duck hunt for the Nintendo 64, I was about 5.

 

[CptLande]

Commander Keen on my grandmothers computer.

 

[RodeyCap]

Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire when I was about seven or eight. I nagged my parents for an N64 until the next Christmas.

 

[Warmoon]

Ape Escape (ps1) as well as the two oddworld games (abes odessy and exodessy) as well on ps1 at the tender age of 4

The oddworld games... What was it that made them so good?

i loved the humor and the charcter of abe and the fun of possesions robotic slugs, its fun at four and found it fun a few days ago when i bought it off steam
